opine. there is no cater walling when writing to the factor. that's the word of the day. thanks for watching. pleathe spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight the number of americans losing their insurance is youing as brand new rolls show the vast majority of the uninsured aren't even trying to sign up. i'm megyn kelly. welcome. this is the kelly file. capping off a difficult week for the president's health care law, a dark milestone. more than 4.8 million, nearly 5 million americans nationwide have been kicked off of their plans. the cancellations in pennsylvania alone jumping from 40,000 to 215,000. now a new gallup poll shows just over 20% of the uninsured have even tried to go on the health insurance exchange and get

insurance since october 1. just 20%. not even. that's of the uninsured. almost 80% of the uninsured either don't care or haven't tried. apparently deciding it is better the to pay the fine or the system is too messed up to bother trying to get on the website. mark thi ergsessen joins us. who can blame them, marc? >> it's a mess. you're right. >> let's talk about the poll numbers. so few people -- these are the uninsured people. not like, okay, only 20% of americans have tried to go on health care.gov. these are people the law was meant to help. >> exactly right. 78% of them aren't interested in it. worse than that, of those that will probably end up signing up the vast majority of those likely to sign up are the poor

and sick. those least likely to sign up are the young and healthy who they need to subsidize the poor and the sick. to the extent anyone can sign up because the website doesn't work, but you will have a massive increase in the number of people who need subsidies and not enough people the to provide them. >> now tonight we find out that president obama's approval rating is now be llow the approl rating of george bush at the same point in his second term. your former boss who was not popular. we were in the midst of iraq, falugia and beheadings. >> and katrina. it's only getting worse for him. this is a manmade disaster, a

self-imposed wound. they are not just upset about the roll out. they are upset that he lied to them. when you lose credibility it's hard to get it back. president obama is digging out of a hole not just that people think the rollout has been incompetent. they think he lied to them, misled them. that portends for a bad second term. >> what do you make of the so-called apology last night where he attempted to hit the reset button? >> he needed to do it. if you look at what he said carefully it's interesting. he didn't actually apologize for lying to the american people or even misleading them. he didn't apologize that they are losing health care. he apologized that they can't get into obama care. this is the quote that was fascinating. keep in mind that most of the folk who is get the cancellation letters, the majority will be better off but because the website isn't working they don't necessarily know it. if you are one of 4.8 million people who lost your health

insurance, obama thinks you are better off. you just don't know it. he never intended for them to keep their insurance. he intended for them to lose it, go into the exchange and subsidize the poor and sick but the exchanges don't work. so he's trapped. >> he said he's been burn bid the website and quickly corrected himself and said the american people were burned. now there are reports ta the administration is considering some sort of a, quote, fix to the cancellations and the enormous sticker shock millions of americans are facing as they go on and see how much their premiums are about to be hiked. kathleen sebelius said, well, we have no specific plan but apparently they are considering, possibly subsidizing the insurance policies of people who required no subsidy on the individual insurance market and were fine with the plan until they were cancelled thanks to obama care.

>> they are flailing around. a premium subsidy doesn't help if your deductible doubled. it doesn't help if you lost your docker to. the premium subsidies aren't a solution to begin with for people losing their doctors, seeing deductibles double. they are offering premium subsidies -- used to be for low income the people. now they are offering it to middle income people to cover health insurance they don't want or need. we are going to build a taxpayer now just not for low income people to get substance abuse care and but we'll do it for middle income people, too. so let's bill the taxpayer for the disaster. >> and there is a real question about whether there is more money for that kind of thing. >> yeah. >> and can president obama do it by executive order, get the approval of the congress for his so-called fix? all questions that we'll examine in the days and weeks to come. marc, thank you. >> thanks, megyn. >> it was just a little more

than 24 hours ago we were seeing the president's attempt at damage control over the broken pledge that americans could keep their plans, period. a number of analysts today suggested he possibly made things worse. the fact checkers are out on the president's remarks last night. leslie marshall is a radio talk show host and a fox news contributor. lars larsen joins us as well. there was fact checking b about how these are all sub par plans supposedly and people don't have to worry. he challenged the president on that as we have because we have had witness after witness, if you will, come on saying loved their plan and they are sick and tired of hearing the president say they were lousy. >> megyn, imagine the incredible arrogance of the president who defrauded america. he lied to the american people

to sell the plan. then he say it is reason you are losing it is it was a lousy plan to begin with. that's not the government's job to decide but the president decided we are going to kill your plan and force you into a plan we tell you is better. but on the numbers it's not. marc says even with the subsidies if you have a much higher deductible it doesn't make a difference to your family if you don't reach the deductible you are paying out of pocket. all the subsidy means is the insurance company gets more money and america gets more debt. >> he came out and talked about how it's only 5% of the population. the individual insurance market which is 15 million people. there are reports that when we get to the employer sponsored insurance and the mandate on those people we could be looking at over 100 million policies that will be altered significantly or cancelled. >> the employer sponsored

insurance programs, over three-quarters of testimony meet the legislation. i don't think the president's 5% will be off. when you look at 15 million, 6% of those who have insurance in our country, yes, some will be losing. what bothers me even though i'm a democrat is it's only 5%. i think 5% is a lot compared to the population. >> trying to down play it. >> yes. that bothers me. medically and not just politically. what we need to do, not just the president but as a nation the transition has been abominable. the bottom line is the president has to do something. our representatives have to do something to come together on this. >> what about the plan? if they are thinking of giving premium subsidies to people who didn't need them before and don't want the coverage that

they are going to fay for now, how will the public react? >> they should react to it viciously. here's what will happen. you have a plan already. for example, in my neck of the woods, a single individual who makes up to $46,000 a year already qualifies for subsidies. a family the of four making up to $90,000. these aren't poverty cases yet the president plans to put them on the dole. i take it seriously that the president said this is the food stamp president. he put more americans on food stamps than anybody ever has before. now he obviously intends to put tens of millions of american families, some middle class,s on a form of welfare through their insurance. >> leslie, we are looking at $17 trillion in national debt and now he's talking about giving premium subsidies for policies they didn't want when they were paying for their own policies with which they were perfectly happy until obama care.

>> that's going to cost more money. congress won't approve it and you need legislative approval for that. do i think the president is talking about it? yes. what is a good idea is to extend the insurances for people to the end of the year that have their plan and like it. but they will change going forward as insurance plans often do to extend the enrollment period to the period of time i believe it takes for the website. end of the month if that happens. but not to delay for one year the individual mandatele although i think the president will think about that. >> i don't want to delay -- megyn, i have to tell you. i don't want it delayed. i want it done away with. >> not going to happen. >> you can try to give people policies back. >> they have already been kicked off t. the relationship with the doctor was settled.

>> impeachment. >> thank you. we saw polling from pew research showing the president may have more than health care to worry about. charles krauthammer is on it next. first on "the kelly file" secret service agents never talk. one joins us live. wait until you hear what he has to say about his time in the obama white house. huh...fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. yep, everybody knows that. well, did you know the ancient pyramids were actually a mistake? uh-oh. geico. fifteen minutes could save you...well, you know.

is a really big deal.u with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. prescription tamiflu attacks the flu virus at its source. so call your doctor right away. tamiflu treats the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose

flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. so don't wait. attack the flu virus at its source. ask your doctor about tamiflu, prescription for flu. from the world headquarters of fox news it's "the kelly

file" with megyn kelly. >> we showed you the breaking news at the top of the hour. almost 5 million americans kicked off their insurance. gallup polling shows one in five of the uninsured seems interested in signing up. late today a new pew research poll shows a dramatic drop in the president's approval rating in the last 11 months. it is now at just 41%. look where it was. joining me now is charles krauthammer, syndicated columnist and author of the bestselling book "things that matter." it's now number two on the new york times bestseller list and number one on amazon. number one. good position to be in, charles. congrats on that. >> thank you. >> all right. let's talk about it.

so what's happening now is

predictable but intended. obamacare could only work the only way they can say it's not going to cost the government a penny is if it was a set of a set of insured americans sub-sidizing others the only way would to be pose people out of their own insurance, put them on the exchanges and force them to get stuck in a plan they have no need forks you get them to overpay. excess is used to sub-sidize others. that was the scheme. it wasn't a mistake. it wasn't as if obama saying we didn't draw legislation cleanly. that is the intent and how it's happening, and americans don't like it. >> now to suggest say well, we sdroent a specific plan yet to help those who dropped from their insurance. they appear to

be floating a trial balloon talking about how they're considering possible new subsidies those shopping on the exchanges that would not have qualified for subsidies under the law as it was written. now they're going to start sub-sidizing people who are buying insurance they don't want in the first place. >> it's reflective response of a liberal in trouble. spend more money, money, that the government doesn't have that, we'll have to get from kiena. for the stuff people goring to be sub-sidized never wanted in the first place. it's actually quite insane. >> what choice does he have now, charles? can he watch the market collapse without doing something meaningful? >> i'm sure they're in the white house now trying to find a way out of the culled desack the problem is, they're

arrogant. instead of attacking the problem of uninsured they decided to use it to redo one sixth of the american economy, take control of the national health system. that is what they wanted to do. they did it with tens of thousands of pages of regulation. what they didn't understand and a child could have understood this, is that once you start to write the regulations, and to alter every aspect of an incredibly complicated eco system, which is american health care, each regulation would have an unintended affect on weathers and there will be no way to predict how it will happen you rebuild by ideas, numbers you throw out of a hat. well, once part of it begins to fail, everything else does. and now, that they're seeing the public

web site is not working, what we have is a plan that is designed to let uninsured to get insurance is throwing people with insurance into a state of uninsurance. it's what you'd expect with a central kind of planning. that was tried in soviet era. it never worked for steel and concrete. it's not going to work for obamacare. >> now, there are doubts about whether it will be fully functional by the end of the month. charles, thank you for being here. >> it's a plea sure, thank you. >> coming up, terrorists murdered four americans in benghazi more than 14 months ago, monday, congressional investigators get a chance to speak to the only men who know what happened that night. that means only krichlt a operatives

14 months after terrorists murder bengha benghazi, libya, congressional investigators will get their first chance next week to speak to cia contractors who were first on the scene that night.

california congressman devon nunez is a member of the house intel committee. he's written a letter raising questions about what went down that night. good to see you. in your letter to speaker boehner you praised the work of the committee which was done in a bipartisan fashion. they are doing their best to look into it in a fair way. what are the questions in your mind as we now go into the week where you will finally hear from a cia contractors who were eyewitnesses at the event? >> well, if i had to list them in order the biggest issue, there seems to be a timeline discrepancy. for example, when the gentleman came back from the embassy compound back to the annex, there is the narrative that the administration put out that there was a lull in the fig fighting, that the fighting had stopped. >> let me catch people up. the compound was attacked where the ambassador was and there was a c irk a annex not far away.

people came from the annex to try to help the ambassador. he had already been killed. they took some people, brought them back to the annex and fighting resumed and two more people were killed. go ahead. >> when they came back, after ambassador stevens was killed -- he was actually missing which is an important point. sean smith was dead. they came back to the annex. the story goes that there was a lull in the fighting. there weren't going to be more problems. i don't think that's what we'll hear from the survivors, people on the ground. that begs the question, well, was there air support called in? why do we have a team that's funded with taxpayer money that had a plane ready to go, people ready. they couldn't have been there in time to save the ambassador and probably not the other two special operators that are killed but we have to ask the question who made the decision and at what level not to send this counter terrorism team in

from the state department. they should have been in the air -- >> that the fighting did stop -- what's the explanation that the fighting did stop and there was no need to send a team because they thought it was over? >> right. they thought it was over. the administration is quick to say that wouldn't have saved lives. that's not the point. we have terrorists on the rub. we haven't brought one oh justice yet. part of the reason why is the counter terrorism team made up across all agencies of the government wasn't sent to coordinate that response team. not to coordinate the investigation. we didn't have anybody on the crime scene for nearly three weeks in benghazi. here we are 14 months later without bringing any of these people to justice. other news agencies have done interviews with some terrorists that attacked that night. >> there was an interview with a guy sitting at a cafe and the

new york times can find him and we can't. you raise questions about whether cia agents or officers are intimidated, polygraphed to ask whether they have spoken to the media and spoken to congressional investigators and others. do you believe there is an effort under way now within the government to shut down communications and to keep some stories secret? >> i do believe there are a lot of stories from incredible news organizations that raised the issue. i do believe that members were asked to sign nondisclosure forms. i want to know why that is. i want to know why they had to sign nondisclosure forms after benghazi. there is no good reason unless they were trying to intimidate people. >> what's the reason for this? why not send a backup team? why not come clean about what went down and how? >> that's what we are trying to get to the bottom of. that's why it is important to

talk to survivors. i'm not t a guy who can jump out there on a conspiracy theory. but as someone trying to get answers, it has never been so hard for me as a member of congress who represents people from california to get answers from our own government. it's about time we had the answers. that starts next week. >> this is a big moment in this case for the first time for you guys to be able to speak with the cia contractors who were there, unlike so many. thank you so much devin nunes. we preach kuwait you being here. >> thank you. >> next up, secret service guys never talk. tonight we have one that worked for the obama administration and he's the talking. wait until you hear what he's saying. plus, tom cruise making headlines and it's not going over well with some of the troops or viewers. go to facebook.com/the kelly file to find out why. leave me a comment. tell me what you think.

a contract to do just that. 22 million dollars funded by the federal government. it turns out of the 6500 jobs they claimed to have got people, 1400 were fake. they plucked out resumés and when people got jobs, seedco took the credit. the u.s. attorney said in addition to being illegal it is insensitive to the people who need employment help to exploit public funding for these programs. the fed sued, seedco settled for $1.7 million. now the forgive and forget feds gave them another multi-million dollar contract in tennessee, new york, georgia and maryland. the navigators help you navigate the affordable care website. because it doesn't work they help you fill out paperwork. these are people you entrust with your health history, income, name, social security number, et cetera, et cetera.

>> these are publically known things. i'm asking about your time as a secret service agent. are you saying you saw things behind the scenes that are scandalous? >> no. i'm careful. there is an oath not to give out private conversations and things of that sort. the administration surrounds themselves with newer people who haven't been involved in politics before unlike prior administrations who bring in people who served bf. that's insulated the president from criticism. you have to ask yourself, we are in a lot of trouble. what are you doing as a country? are you going to put down the remote and stop watching the news and start creating news for a better tomorrow or what? >> let me ask you this. i know you can't give out personal conversations you have heard and so on. i respect that. having observed the family, having observed the man, do you believe president obama is a good man? >> i do. he's decent. >> an honest man? >> politically or personally? personally, he's always been

nice to me. his family was terrific to me. they were always wonderful. i would never say anything otherwise. politically, can we argue with the fact that he's deceived america at this point? he said if you like your plan you can keep your plan, period. that's just one. >> do you believe he's a different kind of politician as he promised he would be? >> absolutely. hope and change. where did that go? he's using government as a weapon against the american people. it's unprecedented. >> in the observations you had of president bush versus president obama and george bush's approval rating was lower than president obama's is at this point. but they are narrowing, getting closer. in your b observations of both men what are the differences? >> president bush really would surround himself with with people who would tell him what he didn't want to hear. i have political differences with him as well. i'm not a toe the line republican. he would surround himself with

people who would tell him what he needed to hear but didn't want to hear. president clinton, too. president obama doesn't do that. no matter how bad it gets i'm sure people are telling him, oh, no, it's not that bad with obama care. anyone with their finger on the pulse of the american people with even the normal iq can figure out that we are in a really bad place now. >> you say if there was one event that helped make up your mind to leave the most visceral was the obama care debate. the public has no idea how many deals were cut. >> people selling out oh left and right. the government has become a cesspool of cronies and insiders and accolytes. i get it. the idea of representative government is being flushed away. you have to ask. are you going to do something to fix it or oh just sit here and

i have seen everything. everything from terror down to drugs. you name it. last week when i filmed that was the scariest i have ever felt. you have $40 million worth of assets on that ranch. it goes 13 miles. drones, sensors, radar, 200 border patrol trucks. yet we have drugs, day laborers and the criminal element including terrorism coming through the border at will. >> how? why? >> why? honestly, because the leaders in this country, the majority of them are cowards. they are not defending and protecting the american workers or the american lives. >> if the assets are there how are they all making it across? >> because there is no will, megyn. there is no will. let me say the this b about

obama. everybody thinks obama wants obama care to be his legacy. no. that can be fixed. you give amnesty to 20, 30, 40 million people, that changes the country forever. that is a legacy. >> i know you heard from a local sheriff about the president's push for immigration reform and his detractors call it amnesty. here is a little bit of that. watch. >> barely a week goes in that i'm not dealing with crime to the border. every time the government talks about amnesty it goes up 70%. somebody could walk across now and it's wide open. why isn't border control on the border. if amnesty goes through how do we do background checks on 20 million people? >> i don't know. are you concerned they could miss really dangerous people? >> yes. >> what percentage of these are mexican citizens who are trying

to make it into the the united states and what percentage are people from other countries trying to use mexico as a way in? >> based on the numbers i get from these guys unfortunately they says is it is a 50/50 mix of o.t.m.s or other than mexicans. the problem is we have people coming in from countries the justice department deems as a national threat. megyn, our society is one of those societies that needs to see in order to believe. in my films i give you the visuals. i worked alongside the border patrol agents wechl talked about our kids. i'm looking you in the eye telling you i am so concerned about what it is that is going down at that border. do you think the main stream media would ever do a report like this? no. they are painting it beautifully. they are selling his kool-aid. can i give something to the

program. eli lake is the daily beast senior national correspondent good to see you. you have reported we may be on the precipice of a deal and that there was a secret deal in place for some time now that saw our administration doing what with iran? >> basically that the treasury department blacklists individuals, entities, cargo vessels that are violating the international sanctions. it's how iran tries to have a lifeline to the international economy. in the six weeks before the presidential elections in june there were more than a hundred such entities blacklisted. since rahani's election in june there have been only six individuals and four front companies and experts say this is evidence that there has been the beginning of a loosening of financial pressure in order to create the space that obama

thinks he needs in order to have successful negotiations. >> okay. so i guess they didn't comment to you, reading your article. >> well, the treasury department did comment. >> -- we had to lay the foundation, grease the wheels to open up the possibility of a deal and now we may have one. >> what the treasury department spokesman said was that they believe they continue to do the enforcement element of sanctions which is levying fiens and working on penalties for those already designated. the key thing is the designation process, the process of identifying the people and entities that iran -- >> slowing way down. >> has really slowed down. >> slowed way down. >> in terms of the cat and mouse game that's the way the u.s. government tries to stop iran from busting sanctions that were imposed. >> what does that tell us?

people say, look, he's trying to get a deal so he was throwing them a bone even though he was telling us he was being tough with sanctions. what's the import of the story? why do we care? >> the administration believes it can turn on and turn off how it approaches things with iran. it saw what they thought was an opening. they are seriously negotiating now. to be sure, there are still lots of sanctions on iran that have not yet been lifted. but iran has in some ways adjusted to the outlaw status in the international economy. it's done so by creating workarounds. going after the workarounds through this designation process is extremely important. >> an important tool. >> the fact that they started to begin to loosen up on that, think in some ways, you know, the hope is from the white house that it will, you know, be a sign of good faith for the iranians and they will, in turn, maybe give a little bit on the nuclear program. >> but the risk of course is

that now if we don't reach a deal, we have had four plus months of not doing the things we thought were necessary in order to put the stranglehold on them financially. i guess we'll be placed in an interesting position if it falls apart. >> yeah. i think so. i think the other important point here is will this create kind of a follow the leader effect where the world sees the united states beginning to loosen b this process and will that mean other countries in turn will also do that and you will see the sanctions regime fall apart and you will see, you know, less pressure on the iranian economy if the negotiations do not produce the desired outcome. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> coming up next, tom cruise making headlines and it's not going over well with the troops or viewers. we have gotten thousands of comment sos far on facebook.com/the kelly file. there we have posted what he said. we'll tell you more after the break.

talk about a mission impossible. actor tom cruise wants to convince folks that it's just as hard being an acting superstar as it is being a soldier in afghanistan. during a deposition in his $50 million defamation case against two magazines who claimed he had abandoned his daughter suri during his divorce from katie holmes cruise claimed being an action star is, quote, brutal the adding that his shoots are just like serving a tour of duty in afghanistan. just exactly like that. another hard thing b about being tom, he apparently had to fly commercial one time in the last four years because he had no other option. he couldn't get the jet fuelled up, i guess. that's tough. in fairness he was talking about how difficult it is to be away from suri. i'm not sure about that. nor am i sure it's really the same when you have tens of millions of dollars and you could easily fly your child to

you if it's the same as being a soldier on the field of afghanistan. i will leave toyota you to decide. so farther not buying it, mr. cruise. follow me on twitter. have a great weekend. welcome to "hannity." the country was played and lied to by the administration about obama care. tonight to help us set the record straight about what the health care overhaul means for you and your families for the entire hour we'll be joined by a studio audience made up of doctors and pundits. you will hear from medical professionals about how your coverage will change thanks to this law. first let's remind the viewers how from the beginning the administration tried to use doctors to help sell the big lie. remember this?
